Welcome
[edit]Hello HerrGutmannsWiki! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.
If you are a Wikipedian, then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub tagging → article status
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub, as a reply below or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
Please have a look at this edit summary. No offense in saying your remarks weren't very well phrased, as I salute you for doing as well as you did in what is probably not your first language. But more importantly, if you think these kinds of detailed criticisms of our phrasebooks need to be stated on a list article, I suggest you start a discussion on that article's talk page.
Best,
Keep way?
[edit]Re: this edit: That's not an English expression I know as a native English speaker. Do you mean "Make way"? Also, don't edit war. Instead, start a thread at Talk:China, so as to get to a consensus. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:49, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry! I may have made a mistake. I tried to make a better English translation for the Chinglish sign. I thought "keep way" was a good expression, as my native language is not English. The Chinese written on the sign briefly means to tell the people do not go into the water to stay safe. Than what is the better way? HerrGutmannsWiki (talk) 10:02, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- In addition, I would like to tell you,
- I have just a few contributions on English wikis.
- I am from China, thus I can contribute more around the articles of China.
- Are you a special bureaucrat for me, inasmuch you also pay attention on me?
- HerrGutmannsWiki (talk) 10:08, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- No, there's no such thing as a "special bureaucrat". I just monitor recent changes often. Anyway, it sounds like the meaning of that sign is something like "Danger! Stay out of the water." Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
